Not 100% on QHD screen On my LG G3, I would like to see things a bit bigger. It seems like everything is just painted in a certain amount of pixels, which results on a very small car and very small text (on the map that is) on a QHD screen. The "normal" buttons and information (next turn and remaining time, etc) seem ok, but the speedometer is also too small and half hidden behind the bottom right icon. Please look into this. Also, I only use e-mail (Google Inbox) to send my ETA to people. But since the last update, it doesn't always start broadcasting when I do this. I then have to send it to a contact from the list (which doesn't do anything for a non-Waze user) and then send it again through Inbox for the broadcast to start.

Nothing else like it. It seems to so better on short trips than longer ones. As the time to destination rarely changes even if car isn't moving due to traffic. I tend to hit the route button every 10 minutes. Maybe it isn't made for someone with a 50 mile commute.

Missing History/Favorites --- Found the Fix I was able to fix the missing History/Favorites by clearing the Cache and deleting the Data. *********************************** Totally enjoyed Waze until this last update. History and Favorites have disappeared along with Home and Work. When I try to add Home/Work/Favorite, the screen goes black. Now I have to enter addresses in my calendar for them to be ported into Waze. Otherwise I have to enter every place I've ever been and hope that the network is functional.

I Like It So Far. I like Waze quite a bit and I plan to continue to use it. My only concern is the app seems very hard on battery life, which is a small concern my phone does not have great battery life to begin with.

Saved me on several occasions Just commuting home Waze has saved me hours of travel time. Recently routed me to my daughter's dance school by a route I would never have done. Drove about 20 minutes when regular route would have been nearly 50 minutes due to an accident and made me arrive late to pick her up.

Drove about 20 minutes when regular route would have been nearly 50 minutes due to an accident and made me arrive late to pick her up.

So so Would indicate where I'm at is 12mph while I'm driving down that street doing 40. Tried a half dozen times to report things. It would just spin and then indicate error trying to report with no reason why.

All around good app would recommend love the traffic help the fact others can give u a heads up...prolly only negative is if I dont have an exact address it doesnt easily find ehat I need for example a hospital....yes a hospital....

Don't depend on this app Set my destination and took off. Lost coverage where I was headed, Waze tried to refresh but without a connection it failed. Instead of leaving me a map and the previously calculated route, it cleared everything. Left me lost in the middle of nowhere.

Missing something. This app is usefull but it's missing some important simple features like pinning/sorting/searching "favorites", I have hundred of favourite locations in my list and they are not arranges alphabetically, no search features so browsing through them for a location is a pain in the ass!

Long time user, but causing phone to reboot Been using Waze for years. This last update though is causing my Samsung Note 4 to reboot itself after 45 min to an hour of use. Having to resort to using inxs or Google maps until.they can fix it.

Can't choose location for reports on map I guess I'm supposed to stop right in front of the hidden motorcycle cops to report them on Waze, since Waze doesn't seem to allow me to choose the location for the marker but rather just sticks it wherever I happen to be when I report it. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Should be able to pin it in the right location, at least if I'm within a block or two.

Needs Improvement The voice controls need work. It never understands what I'm saying then cancels quickly. It would be nice if it had the ability to ask where a gas station is, or to navigate to cross streets. That's way it will keep your eyes off your phone and on the road.

Sometimes the program stops suddenly I'll give a 5 star if this app doesn't stop or ends suddenly when u are 'wazing' with a msg "Unfortunately the program has stopped working" duhhh!!! Fix it please!!! *Asus PadFone S user

Lookin4sum1else It would be 5 stars if my map did not disappear and I had to uninstall reinstall and then it can never recall my account so only successfull login is through Facebook did I mention that I have to pull over and wait for this process to be completed before I can continue my trip so 1 star for now...... every phone I've had metroPCS LG optimus Alcatel fierce and evolve...Verizon lg g3

Voice alerts don't work galaxy s5 I can see the hazards (police, obstructions, etc) but there is no audible voice alert. Checked all settings. Worked fine on my previous phone. App no good if I have to keep my eyes on phone for hazards!

Works well App works great, routes fast even when you miss a turn. Only complaint is that it chooses high traffic routes during peak driving hours. I get around this by taking back roads but a novice to this city could easily waste away in their commute on main roads

My husband gets home on time! My husband started using Waze first when he got a new job 40 miles away. It helps him get home consistently every night, even with wrecks, events, and other traffic. love using it, too! Only once has it messed me up, and taken me to some backwoods part of Austin Bergstrom Airport. But like my husband said, it got me to the airport, just not the terminal. That's not bad. This app will change your life!!! Use it and see!

Awesome App I love that it tells you where potholes and other obstructions are. People ask me all the time don't you know your way home or to your daughter's school. Yes, but Waze helps me avoid the traffic and gets me there faster.

Loved that I was told about an accident ahead so we could reroute, but...on my android Gal.5, I have that lovely little waze icon now everywhere in my contacts..some of which became 2 of same contacts..which doubled or tripled instead of(my intention) deleting the duplicate..BUT otherwise we love knowing traffic ahead is being monitored..

Gives me the option. Should I continue on chosen route? revise? cancel trip? yes L.A. traffic SO bad that sometimes that is a reasonable choice. Recently saved my family 2 fruitless hrs of waiting on Los Feliz trying to get to the LA Zoo with parking lot full. we were able to go the next day by leaving early and having breakfast picnic in the car.

Great time saver BUT..can take you to wacky, if not impossible left turns Greatest timesaver. I use it a lot but at least once a week in order to save a minute, it takes me to hairy left turns where there is no red light. On those days I switch off Waze to use the car or Google navigation.

Flight mode Nice app.... I would like to have a flight mode features. Which mean, Waze still functioning but in flight mode 'data enable'. Or.... at least, while Waze in used, no incoming call can be go through.

Very useful and can be even better Routing server not accessible frequently at rush hours took the 5th star. Sometimes it looses connection with server even after a rout has been established and stops updating ETA. Overall, a great app.

Awesome app! It's a GREAT app for being integrated with social media, that you can coordinate routes with friends. I thought the navigation side was bad, but after checking it out for a few months, it's AWESOME! In what other app can you be directly involved in the improvement of the app? Only this app!

This plugin also provides a "Shutdown Waze" action that exits the Waze app, removes its notification from the notification bar and stops navigation. You can use that action with any AutomateIt trigger (For instance, when disconnected from your car Bluetooth! http://automateitapp.com/rule.php?id=30946)

To use this app you need to install AutomateIt Free or Pro.Screenshots shows how the plugin is used within AutomateIt

GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the promo video :)

PRO features:- show/store/edit/export multiple waypoints and use them on the Radar for navigation.- pressure, rotation, temperature, humidity values (if supported by the device)- removed ads

Permissions- Location: We need this to display your location and allows the program to re-download AGPS data or reset the GPS.- External storage: required by the PRO version to be able to export the stored waypoints to an external file.- Internet: Used by the advertisement component. The PRO version does not use the internet connection at all.

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them): - Galaxy S4 on Verizon: Because of a firmware bug, the notification item in GPS Status can't be removed. You need to disable the notification feature in Settings if this annoys you.

- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.

- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.

- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.

- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.
